Stick Grenade, Imperial German Model 1916, WWI The Model 1916 nomenclature applies to at least four different grenade variations, as shown in Patrice Delhomme's Book, Les Grenades Allemandes de la Grande Guerre. Model 1916 design features were determined by individual manufacturer's preferences, including head design, handle shape, belt clip positions, etc.. The Model 1917, with it's characteristic deep-drawing head, was adopted as a standardized pattern and is the most common form encountered. |

This handle is stamped (twice) with the delay time "5-½Sek" as well as the fabricator ID and date: "AEG 13.12.15" (1915), also has an original porcelain pull ball. The base of the head has been removed and glued back on. But the top crimp is solid, showing this significant feature differentiating the different designs. Wood handle is a little loose at the metal fittings. Relic grade, but still a reasonable example of a hard-to-find grenade type. (A candidate for a better restoration effort I think, for those of you up for that sort of challenge.) (More Images) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() $280 (+ shipping) |
